i7 6700k i7 6700k 4.7 GHz oc, is my temps okay?

[Beefytv9683]

Hello. I recently tried to get better overclocks on my i7 6700k. When i first got the cpu, i overclocked it to 4.5 at 1.275 volts. Then later i wanted to do better, i upped it to 4.7 with 1.325 volts, because anything under just crashed my system.

 

When used prime 95 i got Temps: 60 to 75C after 5 min of testing, Then i tried witcher 3 and i managed to get 80C, is this safe? I have an Corsair H100i V2 Watercooler

 

My specs:

Intel Core i7 6700k 

Corsair H100i V2 GTX Watercooler

GTX 1080 Strix from Asus

Kingston Hyperx DDR4 2133MHz

EVGA GQ 750W PSU

Crucial MX 300 SSD

Corsair Carbide 400C Clear Case

you are using a watercooler stress test for at least 30mins as they need to heat up over a longer period of time then come back

If I was you, I'd lower voltage. If needed, drop the clock a little as well; say, to either 4.6ghz or try messing with the BCLK to get an intermediate value. 80C in games is a sign of trouble...

He's not using the proper version and/or test either, stressing for little time is the least of my worries.

I wasn't saying that, I was saying that water coolers by design take longer to dissipate heat and to reach equilibrium and take longer to cool down. If he wants a proper temp reading, he should test for a longer amount of time to allow the water in the system to read equilibrium

Well then, i dropped to down to 4.5 ghz and 1.275 volts. I find it safe and i never go over 65  80c is jsut terrifying

What did you mean by "he is not using the proper version" ?

It means exactly what it does: you're (probably) not using the proper version, which would be the latest one. Or, if you're already doing that, you most likely aren't using the right test, which would be the Small FFT one.

Proper version of what?
